雅思听力题型之段落填空解题技巧
雅思听力题中段落填空题属于不常见的题型,试题往往较难,所以力争听力高分的同学也必须掌握。下面,结合例题,我们来为大家讲解雅思听力题型中段落填空题的解题技巧。希望大家都考出雅思高分。
在“听”过程中,由于段落填空多处于讲座或演讲中,而演讲者语言特征是通常用一些special signal words考生要注意掌握试题的节奏,通过特殊信号词来把握原文的脉络,将这些常见信号词总结为:
并列关系:and, also, too, not only…but also…
递进关系:then, in addition, moreover, furthermore
转折关系:however, but, while, whereas
因果关系:because, so, as, cause
强调关系:particularly, do, have to
另外,在听题的过程中,要注意对听到的词和题干中的词或词组做同义联想,千万不要奢望和等待所有听到的词和词组都和题干中的一模一样。
如果我们把之前的段落填空一句句拆开,会发现其实就是句子完成,只是其句子和句子间存在一定的逻辑关系。接下来,我们继续就上一篇例题,看其“听”时的思路。
[典型范例]:
Complete the summary below.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
Saving for the future
Research indicates that many women only think about their financial future when a 36. …………… occurs. This is the worst time to make decisions.
范例原文: The research indicates that at present for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of course this is the very worst time for anyone to make any important decisions.
范例剖析: 此题答案为crisis
题干句子和原文结构发生了较大的变化,题干中的women only think about their financial future when a……。 在原文中出现的是……at present for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation……
在之前的系列讲解中,曾提到这一出题角度是通过调换从句中两个分句的位置,完成关键词后置叫做“考点信息前置”或者说是“定位信息后置”
[温馨提示]:建议考生,为更好地把握住这种题型,在平时的学习中要熟悉听力题目中常见的容易出现关键词后置的结构;此外,勤能补拙,平时的听写练习还有由此而来的短时记忆能力的提高都是对付这种题型的不二途径。
[典型范例]:
It is best for women to start thinking about pensions when they are in their 37. ……………
范例原文: Women today need to look ahead, think ahead, not wait until they‘re under pressure. Even women in their early twenties, need to think about pensions for example.
范例剖析: 答案为twenties
37题和36题在出题角度上相似,但是相对简单,因为题干中通过in their ……………,可以猜测需要填的是数字,和年龄相关,in one‘s …………,一般我们常见的有in one’s teens, in one‘s twenties, in one’s thirties等。
